Quinnipiac University dropout arrested in cap and gown after making bomb threats

Danielle Shea, 22, was arrested Sunday after she phoned in bomb threats to Quinnipiac University.

Danielle Shea, 22, a former Quinnipiac University student, was arrested Sunday after calling in two bomb threats to the university in an attempt to cancel commencement ceremonies.

Shea dropped out of the university last year without telling her family, but was still collecting thousands of dollars in tuition money from her mother.

She called in the bomb threats after panicking that her family would discover she was not actually graduating.

The Boston Globe reported that Hamden, Conn. police and university police identified Shea by tracking the telephone number that was used to make the call. She was found in the arena and arrested wearing a cap and gown that she had purchased.

This Quinnipiac story, if nothing else, is great for all the other grads. “Look, Mom, I don’t have a job, but at least I didn’t do THAT!”
